"Wast killed" is an archaic phrase that combines the use of the past tense of the verb "be" (wast) and the verb "kill" in its past participle form (killed). This phrase is derived from Old English and can be interpreted as a way to express the state of being killed in the past.
When the verb "be" is conjugated as "wast," it signifies the second person singular past tense. It was commonly used in Middle English and Early Modern English but has gradually fallen out of use in contemporary language. However, it can still be found in older texts, poetry, or certain literary works that aim to evoke a sense of antiquity or recreate a specific time period.
The verb "kill" in its past participle form indicates that someone or something has been put to death or terminated. The phrase "wast killed" thus combines the notions of being killed in the past and the use of archaic language to convey this concept.
Overall, "wast killed" refers to the act of someone being killed, or having met their demise, in the past.
The phrase "wast killed" is a combination of two words: "wast" and "killed".
1. "Wast" is the archaic second-person singular form of the verb "be" in Middle English. It was commonly used in the past to indicate the past tense of "were" and "art" (second-person singular present tense of "be"). Over time, this form was phased out and replaced by "were" and "are" in modern English.
2. "Killed" is the past participle form of the verb "kill". This word traces its origins back to Old English where it was spelled "cwellan". It evolved from the Proto-Germanic word "khwaljan", which means "to end or destroy life".
